Quo Brushes


Quo Brushes


These are the only 2 Quo brushes that i own right now
From T-B -> Powder Brush, Eye Smudger Brush

Quo Powder Brush

Got to say i liked it at first when i purchased it, it was all soft and gave me a flawless finish... now I've owned this brush for about 6 months or more and its being a bad boy an absolutely bad boy.
Let me tell you the pros and cons of this brush

Pros
- soft on the skin even after washing numerous of times
- has a nice flat (not bulky) neck (metal silver part) which is so much more easier to control when applying 
- the elegant color which makes it look like a professional brush

Cons
- brush hair falls off and gets stuck to face when applying loose powder
- sheds insanely when washing
- hair is starting to stray
- would not consider repurchasing



Quo Eye Smudger Brush

I bought this brush out of curiosity because i already own a smudger brush but its a different kind (the usual  black pointy tip one). Anyways ya so i bought this one to see how it would preform and let me tell you the pros and cons of this brush.

Pros
- good use for hightlighting (ex. the inner tear duct area)
- use it to clean up the eye shadows around the eye
- use it to apply shadow on my lower lash line

Cons 
- shreds when washing/ applying ( i know its a small brush but Quo brushes does a good job shedding hair)
- Bristles are very prickly
- don't even use it for the labelled purpose
- would not consider repurchasing

EcoTools Bamboo 6 piece Brush Set

So let me tell you this. If you are a beginner and are struggling to find the perfect set of brushes, don't want to spend a lot of $$ and is looking for great quality then this set is absolutely made for you! This 6 piece brush set is inexpensive (you can find it at your local drugstore), have the softest bristles even after washing it millions of times its still oh so soft, also no stray hair and no sheds yet, the handles are made from bamboo which in my opinion makes it look like some high end brush and also comes with a cosmetic brush roll good for traveling.. BUT but the only thing that i got to complain about is the eye shading brush (scroll down for review) and also it would be awesome if they had the powder brush included in this set.

From L-R-> Blush Brush, Eye shading brush, Eyeliner brush, Concealer Brush, Lash and Brow groomer, Cosmetic brush Roll 

Blush Brush 
I personally love to put blush on and this brush leaves you with a flawless finish. (I also use it with bronzer too)

Eye shading Brush
Honestly out of the whole set i have to say this is my least favorite... first off its too big of a size and it doesn't pick up eye shadow very well, but still usable (i sometimes use it for concealing)

Eyeliner Brush
This is an excellent eyeliner brush, I love using eye shadow to tight line my eyes and this brush is easy to control (like it gives you the perfect "wing")

Concealer Brush
Love this concealer brush!! Use it everyday to conceal my under eye circles

Lash and Brow groomer
nice and sturdy

L.A. Colors Color Craze Nail Polish

These nail polishes are a "MUST HAVE"!! The variety of colors are mostly on the pastel sides. (which i absolutely love because these colors are so unique and bright!!) And especially for the price of $1USD which is an absolutely steal, because here in Canada it's like around $3CAD each =_='' so if your going down to the states, you can find these lovely's over at the Dollar tree.

From Left to right-> Paradise pink, Phenomena, Tropical breeze, Atomic, Splash, Jewel tone
And here is the beautiful colors all painted out.
starting from L-R 
*Note: I painted 2 layers to match the real color
Paradise Pink-> sheer metallic pink
Phenomena-> more of a burgundy color
Tropical breeze-> nice deep purple color tone
Atomic-> Love this color!! bright pastel teal green
Splash-> a nice deep ocean blue
Jewel tone-> nice sparkly color; contains blue,green, fuschia sparkles (human eyes point of view)

                               And here is a closer look of the jewel tone
